Abstract
This paper reviews the state of the art of monitoring and diagnostics for the electric machines used in wind generation. Wind generators experience a very unusual operating environment with varying duty cycles and ambient conditions. Access can be difficult and maintenance is expensive. The paper surveys different options for monitoring and diagnostics for synchronous and asynchronous wind generators. Current and vibration monitoring as well as flux density measurements are considered in order to diagnose the machines and the drive-train to which they are connected. Gaps are identified and recommendations are made on preferred schemes.
